o to Cook Eggs.

The quickest way to prepare eggs for
breakfast is to boil them soft, which can
be done in three minues, or by allowing
them to stand seven minutes in the water
just at the boiling point; the result will
be the same. Next in order comes
poached eggs. Break your eggs careful
" into a shallow pan of boiling water,
and when the whites have hrmly set
around the yolks lift on o platter and
season with salt. Great care should be
taken in lifting them that they do not
break. Serve with buttered toast,
Hard boiled eggs with salad make a
nice relish for breakfast, but should be
boiled the night before, as eggs boiled
the ordinary five minutes are very soggy
and unwholesome, but if boiled half an
hour or longer are dry and mealy like a
potato, and ready for any use. After
boiling eggs place them for a few min
utes in q pan of cold wafer, and you will
be surprised to see how easily the shells
come oil.
Picked eggs are q nice relish for
breakfast, either with or without meat.
Boil and remove the shells, as in the rule
given above for hard boiled eggs. Let

brine, till the salt has penetrated the egg,
then remove and drop into either plain
or spiced vinegar according to taste. In
a few days they will be ready for use.
Fried eggs are quickly cooked and, with
ham or bacon. are nice for a change, but
/ deem them by far the most unhealthful
method of cooking eggs, as they are apt
TO lie heaYi y on the stomach. Most peo-
pie fry them only ON . side, but / pre-
fer to turn mine and slightly breW n the
upper side. This is a matter of taste,
however, and requires some skill in the
handling to urn and not break them.
When eggs are scarce an omelette may
be quickly prepared. Beat up two or
three eggs, according to the size OF your
family, adding q pinch Of salt and q Ia
blespoon of sweet milk to each egg, and
cook In butter or good sweet pork drip
pings, If butter IS not convenient. | turn
mine for the space of n minute before
serving. although ! know it is not the
usual custom to do so. I am independ-
emit enough, however, in cooking and
many other thin q to sometimes break
away from establ; shed customs. Finely
minced ham or bacon, or even good sweet
salt pork, chopped fine, and mixed with
tho beaten egg makes . good omelette,
besiles being q very good way of work
ing up scraps of meat. Other kinds of
meat will do, but are not quite SO good.
Fine bread or cracker crumbs, in the abb
sence of meat, make a good substitute,
and even q cold potato or two chopped
fine with a little raw onion and mixed
with the egg is not q bad dish for one
who is not too dainty.-Mrs. ID. Ct, In
Free Press.

Many years ago upon their first intro
duction into this country, | took a Turk
ish bath with its accessory rubbing at
the hands of an expert who had been
trained in Southern Europe. He was an
expert in fact, and some of his manipu-
lations | did not forget. One was the
drawing of the fingers so that all of the
fingers from the last articulation out res
ted on the surface, and with a rapid
succession of movements in place of a
continuous ore. The sensation was like
that produced by the application of cleo
tricity in Il general treatment.
It is surprising what an effe=t this has
in relieving irritation, and improving
the nutrition of parts. Ten minutes OF
such treatment is better than an hour OF
the ordinary use of electricity.
One soon gets the movement perfect,
and as the fingers make the short move
ments, carrying the skin before them,
the operator will have o sensation very
similar to the discharges from a battery.
The hand will sometime feel after this
use very like as if it had held the pole Of
q battery for some time.
For thirty years l have relieved pain
by smartly slapping the affected part
with the fingers mot the HANDY, just
sufficient tension of the muscles being
maintained to render the hand elastic.
There is nothing original in this. 1t is
a part of the old Swedish movement

The Journey OF Life.

Ten thousand human beings start to-
gether on their journey. After ten years
one third at least have disappeared. Al
the middle points of the common meas
ure of life but half are still upon the road.
Faster and faster as the ranks grow thin
ner they that remain till now become
weary, and lie down to rise no more.
At ninety these have been reduced to &

Year after year they fall in diminishing

Overwhelming Kindness.

One of the most touching instance of
gratitude is alleged to have occurred in
the country the other day. A little boy
the child of a wealthy mother, tumbled
into the river. He was rescued by a
working man and restored to his broken
hearted parent. The woman gave the
man a penny postage stamp, and said
she would be glad to have him come up
to her house and sit out in the entry and
bear her play the piano. He went away
with tears in his eyes. He said he wasn't

Asking the Strikers to Return.

to take action in regard to the strike of the
'longshoremeu. The following resolutions
were adopted:
That we request the regular longshoremen
of this port to abandon the strike and return
to work on the same basis as heretofore, and
report to their respective employers.
That we feel the existing situation of affairs
compelS action on our part to help 70 cue, If
possible, the enormous division Of trade that
has resulted from the present difficulty and
protect our future interests by united ac.
tion
Therefore we feel that the 'longshoremen
should seriously consider the danger involved
by continuance of the course adopted and
join us in our efforts by returning to work
on Monday morning.
That should the 'longshoremen deem il
wise to continue the struggle and refuse to
work, we are therefore resolved to adj

and discharge the ships under our care and
to offer masters and owners every
facility within our means to despatch their
